Use the following list of tools and parts as a checklist for preparing to install the SCE8000chassis:

•Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers

•3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver

•Tape measure and level

•Masking tape or some other method of marking the desired installation height in the rack

•One grounding lug

•Two M4 (metric) hex-head screws with locking washers

Note The grounding lug and M4 hex-head screws with locking washers are provided in kit 69-0815-01

•One grounding wire—Must be sized according to local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system, a 12 AWG conductor or larger size wire is required for U.S. installations.

•Crimping tool—Must be large enough to accommodate the girth of the grounding lug when crimping the grounding cable into the lug.

•Wire-stripping tool

•Appropriate cables to connect the SCE8000 to the network and console terminal

Unpacking the Cisco SCE8000 Chassis

Tip When you unpack the Cisco SCE8000, do not discard the shipping container. Flatten the shipping cartons and store them with the pallet. You may need these containers if you move or ship the Cisco SCE8000 in the future.

Caution If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or that the rack is otherwise stabilized.

Note We recommend that you maintain a minimum air space of 6 inches (15 cm) between walls and the chassis air vents and a minimum horizontal separation of 12 inches (30.5 cm) between two chassis to prevent overheating.

The installation hardware is not suitable for use with racks with obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair access to field-replaceable units (FRUs).

Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:>If it is the only unit in the rack, this unit must be mounted at the bottom of the rack.>When mounting this unit in a partially-filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.>If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

The chassis is shipped with the mounting brackets installed on the front of the chassis. You can remove these brackets and install them on the rear of the chassis, using the holes provided in the rear side of the chassis (Figure 1).

Figure 1 Cisco SCE8000 Chassis Brackets

Step 1 Position the chassis in the rack as follows. If the:

•Front of the chassis (front panel) is at the front of the rack, insert the rear of the chassis between the mounting posts.

•Rear of the chassis is at the front of the rack, insert the front of the chassis between the mounting posts.

Step 2 Align the mounting holes in the bracket (and optional cable guide) with the mounting holes in the equipment rack.

Step 3 Use a tape measure and level to choose and mark the position that the chassis is to be installed in the rack. Make a mark at equal height on both sides of the rack. This helps ensure that the chassis is installed straight and level (Figure 2).

Figure 2 Installing the Cisco SCE8000 Chassis in the Rack

Step 4 Install the eight (four per side) 12-24 x 3/4-inch or 10-32 x 3/4-inch screws through the holes in the bracket and into the threaded holes in the equipment rack posts.

Step 5 Use a tape measure and level to verify that the chassis is installed straight and level.

Installing an Optical Bypass Module

Two installation options exist for external bypass modules:

•Chassis mount panel—This panel is mounted on slot #4 of the SCE8000 chassis. It hosts two optical bypass modules, which will serve the two traffic links supported by one Cisco SCE8000 chassis.

•External mounting panel—This panel can be mounted in any 19-inch rack. It hosts up to 4 optical bypass modules, which serve four traffic links supported by two Cisco SCE8000 platforms.

Step 1 For external mounting, install the external mounting panel in the 19-inch rack. Screw the mounting panel to the rack using four 3/4-inch screws, two on each side, through the holes in the mounting panel and into the threaded holes in the rack posts. For internal mounting, the SCE8000 chassis is shipped with the chassis mounting panel installed in slot 4.

Step 2 Remove the module filler plate covering the subslot in the mounting panel by loosening the two screws.

Step 3 Carefully insert the optical bypass module into the subslot (no guide rails exist) and tighten the captive screws on either side of the module (Figure 3).

Figure 3 Optical Bypass Modules in External Mounting Panel

3 Connecting Power Supply Units

The SCE8000 chassis is shipped with the power supplies (AC or DC) already installed. This section provides information for grounding the SCE8000 platform and connecting the AC or DC power supply units.

Connecting the Chassis Ground

Note If this equipment is installed in a U.S. or European Central Office, you must connect the system ground on both AC and DC-powered systems to an earth ground.

Note For DC-powered systems, the system ground is also the power supply ground. The DC ground must be installed with a permanent connection to an earth ground according to NEC guidelines.

Note When you use the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply in the Cisco SCE8000 chassis, additional grounding requirements exist.

Two threaded M4 holes are provided on the chassis frame to attach the ground cable.

Before you connect system power or turn on the Cisco SCE8000 chassis, you must complete this procedure:

Step 1 Remove approximately 0.75 inch (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the grounding wire using a wire-stripping tool.

Step 2 Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug.

Step 3 To secure the grounding wire in place in the grounding lug, use the manufacturer recommended crimping tool.

Step 4 Locate and remove the adhesive label from the system grounding pad on the chassis (Figure 4).

Figure 4 Installing the System Ground

Step 5 Place the grounding wire lug against the grounding pad, making sure that solid metal-to-metal contact exists.

Step 6 Secure the grounding lug to the chassis using two M4 screws. Ensure that the grounding lug does not interfere with other hardware or rack equipment.

Step 7 To ensure adequate earth ground for the Cisco SCE8000 chassis, prepare the other end of the grounding wire, and connect it to an appropriate grounding point at your site.

Connecting Power

The following sections describe how to reconnect the AC or DC power.

Installing a DC-Input Power Supply

Note The DC return must remain isolated from the system frame and chassis (DC-I).

Warning Before you perform any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit.

Note For multiple DC input power supplies, each DC input must be protected by a dedicated circuit breaker or fuse. The circuit breaker or fuse should be sized according to the power supply input rating and local or national electrical code requirements.

Step 1 Power supply ground is required. Install the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply ground as described in this procedure.

Note The system ground connection with the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply in a Cisco SCE8000 is provided by the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply ground. Additionally, you can connect a system (earth) ground.

Note You must always connect the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply ground.

Note You must always connect the PWR-2700-DC/4 power supply ground for both power supplies.

Note If you intend to use an additional system (earth ground), ensure that the system ground connection is made. For ground connection installation instructions, see the "Connecting the Chassis Ground" section.

Step 2 Remove the plastic bag attached to the front panel and put aside. This bag contains two plastic terminal block barriers, two cable ties, and two cable holder covers.

Step 3 Verify that power is off to the DC circuit connected to the power supply you are installing. Grasp both power supply handles (Figure 5.) Slide the power supply into the power supply bay. Make sure that the power supply is fully seated in the bay.

Note Because the power requirement of the SCE8000 does not exceed 1350 W, it is not necessary to connect two pairs of input wires to each power supply. If you want to connect two pairs of input wires, both pairs of input wires for one 2700 W DC-input power supply must come from the same battery system (A feed); and both pairs of input wires for the other power supply must come from another battery system (B feed).

Step 5 Remove the four screws securing the terminal block cover, and slide the cover off of the terminal block (Figure 6).

Step 6 Attach the appropriate lugs to the DC-input wires and ground wire. The wires should be sized according to local and national installation requirements. Use only copper wire. The maximum width of a lug is 0.600 inch (15.2 mm).

Note For North American installations, use fine-stranded copper conductors rated for 90-degrees Celsius.

Note The power supply terminal block lug opening width is 0.62 inch (15.8 mm). The terminal posts are centered 0.625 inches (15.88 mm) apart and are 1/4-20 threaded. We recommend that you use an appropriately sized industry standard 2-hole, standard barrel compression lug. The power supply ground studs, located below the terminal block, are also threaded 1/4-20 and require two 1/4-inch split-ring washers and two 1/4-20 hex nuts.

Step 7 Connect the DC-input wires to the 2700 W power supply terminal block. Depending onto which side you are connecting the DC-input wires, be sure that the DC-input wires rest in the appropriate cable holder. Figure 7 shows DC-input wires coming in from the left side.

Connect the DC-input wires to the 2700 W power supply terminal block in this order (Figure 7):

•Ground

•Negative (-)

•Positive (+)

Note When you tighten the terminal nuts, make sure they are snug. Do not overtighten them. Recommended torque strength is 20 inch-pounds. Over-tightening the terminal nuts can break the terminal block (maximum torque: 36 inch-pounds).

Figure 7 DC-Input Wires on Left Side

When you install the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.

Step 8 Secure the ground cable to the cable holder using the two cable-ties.

Step 9 Retrieve the cable holder covers from the plastic bag and attach to the front panel at the locations (see Figure 6).

Note If the cable holder illustrated as number 5 and 8 in Figure 6 does not hold the DC input cables snugly, use a long cable tie to secure the cable holders as illustrated in number 9.

Step 10 Secure the terminal block cover using four screws and the terminal block barriers with two screws each.

Step 11 Turn on the DC inputs and verify power supply operation by checking the power supply front panel LEDs.

This section explains how to connect the SCE8000 platform to a local console and how to cable the 10/100/1000 Ethernet management interfaces.

Note If two SCE8000-SCM modules are installed, use the console and management ports on the module in slot 1 only.

Connecting the Local Console

You must first connect the unit to a local console and configure the initial settings for the SCE8000 to support remote management.

Make sure that the terminal configuration is as follows:

•9600 baud

•8 data bits

•No Parity

•1 stop bits

•No flow control

The above Cisco SCE8000 port parameters are fixed and are not configurable.

Step 1 Plug the RS-232 serial cable provided with the Cisco SCE8000 into the Con port on the front panel of the SCE8000-SCM-E (item #2 in Figure 8).

Figure 8 Connecting the Local Console to the SCE8000-SCM-E CON Port

Step 2 Connect the other end of the serial cable (with an attached DB-9 or DB-25 connector) to the VT100 compatible local (serial) terminal.

Step 3 Make sure the local terminal is configured as a VT-100 terminal, according to the fixed Cisco SCE8000 CON port parameters.

Step 4 Make sure that the Cisco SCE8000 is powered on and has completed booting (this process may take several minutes).

Step 5 Press Enter several times until the Cisco logo appears on the local terminal.

Setting Up Initial Parameters

For the SCE platform to communicate properly, set basic global parameters. The following is a summary of the initial setup parameters and commands. For more information, refer to the Cisco SCE8000 Software Configuration Guide.

•IP address and subnet mask of the Cisco SCE8000 platform. This is the IP address used by the GBE management interface.

•IP address of the default gateway.

•Hostname—The hostname is used to identify the SCE platform. It appears as part of the CLI prompt and is also returned as the value of the MIB-II object sysName.

–The maximum length is 20 characters.

–The default hostname is SCE8000.

•Passwords for user, admin, and root level access. These are authorization-level passwords, not individual passwords. These passwords may be encrypted.

Passwords must meet the following criteria:

–Minimum length—4 characters

–Maximum length—100 characters

–Begin with an alpha character

–May contain only printable characters

•The default password for all levels is cisco.

•System clock—Current date and time. The clock and the calendar must always be synchronized.

•Time zone—The name or ID of the time zone along with the number of hours offset from UTC.

•Domain name server—Default domain name, which is used to complete unqualified host names, as well as up to three domain name servers, which are used for DNS lookup.

You must also enable DNS lookup.

•RDR formatter destination—The SCE platform generates raw data records (RDRs) and sends them to the specified destinations (external collection systems) through the RDR formatter. You can configure up to eight RDR formatter destinations. For each destination, specify the IP address and port number.

Table 2 lists commands for displaying the currently configured values and for configuring these parameters. It also lists the command mode for each configuration command. All show commands are executed from the User Exec command mode.

Connecting the Management Interfaces

The SCE8000-SCM-E is equipped with two active RJ-45 management ports. These 10/100/1000 Ethernet interfaces provide access from a remote management console to the Cisco SCE8000 via a LAN. The two management ports provide the possibility for a redundant management interface, thus ensuring management access to the SCE platform even if there is a failure in one of the management links.

If only one management port is used, the desired port is simply connected directly to the LAN. If both management ports are used, they must both be connected to the management console via a switch. In this way, the IP address of the MNG port is always the same, regardless of which physical port is currently active.

SCE8000 Connectivity Summary

Note You can implement receive-only topologies using either an optical splitter or a switch. If you use a switch, it must support SPAN functionality that includes separation between ingress and egress traffic and multiple SPAN-port destinations.

Deploying a Multigigabit Service Control Platform Topology

In a Multigigabit Service Control Platform (MGSCP) deployment, the cabling scheme depends on the number and arrangement of ports in the EtherChannel in the Cisco 7600 series router. It is therefore not possible to detail exact cabling schemes. When designing the cabling scheme, refer to the following general guidelines.

General guidelines for MGSCP topologies:

•Because two links exist per Cisco SCE8000 platform, the minimum number of platforms required is half the number of links used.

•Each link corresponds to one port on the EtherChannel (EC) on the Cisco 7600 series router. Each EC supports a maximum of eight ports. Therefore, if all eight EC ports are configured, four Cisco SCE8000 platforms are required.

•For N+1 redundancy, two ports (connected to the standby platform) must be configured as standby ports on both ECs. Therefore, for N+1 redundancy, one router and five Cisco SCE8000 platforms are used to support eight links.

•If two Cisco 7600 series routers are used (for network redundancy), one link on each Cisco SCE8000 platform is connected to each router. This requires twice the number of Cisco SCE8000 platforms, one platform for each link.

–A minimum of eight Cisco SCE8000 platforms are required to support eight ports.

•The Cisco SCE platform ports must be connected to the EC ports in the same order on both sides.

•The EC ports should be sorted in an ascending order by their physical interface numbers.

•In a topology with two Cisco 7600 series routers, the order of connection to the EC ports must be the same on both routers. For both routers to send the traffic of a given subscriber to the same SCE platform, the SCE platforms must be connected to both routers in exactly the same order (one SCE platform connected to the first link on both routers, another SCE platform connected to the second link on both routers, and so on).

Cabling 10 GBE Line Interface Ports

Note When you install an external optical bypass module, the Cisco SCE8000 line ports are connected to the module. See Table 6 and Table 7 for connectivity.

Warning Class 1 laser. Avoid exposure to radiation and do not stare into open aperture.

Step 1 Obtain the appropriate fiber optic cable.

Step 2 Plus the fiber optic cable into the appropriate port on the 10 GBE interface on the SPA module in slot #3 of the Cisco SCE8000 (Figure 10).

Figure 10 Cabling the 10 GBE Interface

The Link LED should be green.

Installing a Cascaded System

Step 1 Install both Cisco SCE8000 platforms, power them up, and perform the initial system configuration.

To maintain link continuity at all times, including during the reload sequence and power failure events, it is recommended to install optical bypass modules.

The cascade ports must be either be connected directly in Layer 1 (dark fibers), or using the following procedure to connect through a switch.

–Connect port 3/2/0 from box A and port 3/3/0 from box B to a single switch. Configure them both on the same access VLAN, which will be used only by the interfaces connected to these ports. No other interfaces in the switch should reside on that VLAN.

–Connect port 3/3/0 from box A and port 3/2/0 of box B to a switch on a different VLAN. Again, the access ports should be configured as access ports on this VLAN, which will be used only by the interfaces connected to these ports. No other interfaces in the switch reside on the VLAN.

Step 4 Set topology configurations for each Cisco SCE8000 platform using the connection-mode CLI command.

Step 5 Make sure that the Cisco SCE8000 platforms have synchronized and active Cisco SCE8000 platform was selected.

Use the show interface linecard 0 connection-mode command.

Step 6 If you want to start in bypass mode, change the link mode to your required mode in both Cisco SCE8000 platforms on both links. The bypass mode will be applied only to the active Cisco SCE8000 platform.

Step 7 Connect the traffic port of Cisco SCE8000 platform #1. This will cause a momentary down time until the network elements from both sides of the Cisco SCE8000 platform auto-negotiate with it and start working.

Step 8 Connect the traffic port of Cisco SCE8000 platform #2. This will cause a momentary down time until the network elements from both sides of the Cisco SCE8000 platform auto-negotiate with it and start working.

Step 9 When full control is needed, change the link mode on both Cisco SCE8000 platforms on both links to `forwarding'. It is recommended to first configure the active Cisco SCE8000 platform and then the standby.

Step 10 You can now start working with the Subscriber Manager.

6 Completing the Installation

This module explains how to verify link connectivity and how to install a Cisco service control application.

Examining the LEDs

The 10 GBE Link LED should be green. This indicates that an active connection exists.

Configuring the SCE8000 Platform

After you install the SCE8000 platform hardware, check all external connections, turn on system power, and allow the system to boot, you are ready to install the service control application. However, before you install the application, you might need to configure the SCE platform. Instructions for configuring the SCE8000 platform are beyond the scope of this publication.

For information on system and interface configuration, refer to the following documents:

Viewing Configurations

When you enter configuration commands, this action immediately affects the SCE platform operation and configuration. The configuration, referred to as the running-config, is saved in the SCE platform volatile memory and is effective while the SCE platform is up. After reboot, the SCE platform loads the startup-config, which includes the nondefault configuration that was saved by the user, into the running-config.

The SCE platform provides commands for:

•Viewing the running configuration with only user-configured (nondefault) values: show running-config

•Viewing the running configuration with all the SCE platform running configuration values, whether default or not: show running-config all-data

•Viewing the startup configuration: show startup-config

After configuring the SCE platform, you may query for the running configuration using the command show running-config.

Step 1 At the SCE# prompt, type show running-config. The system shows the running configuration.

Saving or Changing Configuration Settings

When you make changes to the current running configuration and you want those changes to remain in effect when the system restarts, you must save the changes before leaving the management session. To do so, save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.

The SCE platform provides multiple interfaces for configuration and management. All interfaces supply an API to the same database of the SCE platform. Any configuration made through one interface is reflected through all interfaces. Furthermore, when saving the running configuration to the startup configuration from any management interface, all configuration settings are saved regardless of the management interface used to set the configuration.

For backup purposes, the old startup-config file is saved under the directory: /system/prevconf.

To remove a configuration command from the running-config, use the no form of the command.

Step 1 At the SCE# prompt, type show running-config to view the running configuration. The running configuration appears.

Step 2 Check the configuration to make sure that it is set to your specifications. If not, make the changes you want before saving.

Step 3 Type copy running-config startup-config. The system saves all running configuration information to the configuration file, which is used when the system reboots.

The configuration file holds all information that is different from the system default in a file called config.tx1 located in the directory: /system.

Saving or Changing Configuration Settings—Example

The following example shows how to save the running configuration file (first displaying the file to review the settings).

Installing a Service Control Application

The Service Control solution requires that the Service Control application be installed on the SCE platform. This is a pqi file that is installed and configured using the Cisco Service Control Application for Broadband (SCA BB) console.

Identifying Startup Issues

Startup issues are commonly due to a powers source issue or a poor cable connection.

This section describes the normal startup sequence and describes the steps to take if the system does not perform that sequence as expected. LEDs indicate all system states in the startup sequence. By checking the state of the LEDs, you can determine when and where the system failed in the startup sequence. Use the following descriptions to isolate the problem to a subsystem, and then proceed to the appropriate sections to try to resolve the problem.

When you start up the system by turning on the power supply switch, the following should occur:

•You should immediately hear the fans operating.

•If the Status LED is flashing orange, indicating a warning state, check the user log:

At the prompt, enter more user log

If any of the following warning messages appear, turn off the Cisco SCE8000 platform and call technical support.

–Voltage problem

–Fan problem

–Abnormal increase in interior temperature
